It was more of a troubleshooting tip. Not really meant to fix it. When you did the ping, what did it say? Should be multiple lines of roughly the same response over and over.

oh sorry. it didn't say anything at all. did I do it wrong, do you think??

When random weird stuff like this happens, often a modem and router reboot fixes things.

Re: this is just weird
 

ok, so this is what is says........

4 rows of Reply from (a string of numbers that I assume are my ISP #??): bytes=32 times=69ms TTL=224

Ping statistics for (the same #):
Packets Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost =0 <0%loss>
Approximate round-trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum =67 ms, Maximum = 69 ms, Average = 67 ms

that's it.

Ok, I found out the problem. Century Link, our internet provider, was having problems in all of Ohio, all of Pennsylvania and areas of St. Louis. It's all fixed now. Thanks for all your helps tho.
